Hello! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here so I’m a bit nervous! I’ve had browser and time issues (no time :) ) but finally managed to sort my browser problems out so thought I’d share this cake I made!

I was invited to submit a drawing entry and my design was picked as one of the finalists for the ‘Art of Cake’ competition, held throughout the month of August this year in a shopping mall here in Auckland NZ. The theme was 2014 fashion week and all of the 6 finalists were given a specific fashion style from which to create their cakes. Mine was ‘wild things’ and I was inspired by all the feathers, fur and textures – a lot of Alexander McQueen – on the runway this year.

I wanted to do something a little different and as we can’t easily get those hanging cake stands here in NZ I came up with the idea of a cake hanging in a frame, which my amazing husband then designed and built (the frame can hold up to 50kgs of cake weight). Thanks so much for looking :)
